Pair pay price for European snub

Paul Casey, ninth in the world, and Justin Rose, twice a winner in America this summer, have paid the price for not coming back to Europe to fight for a Ryder Cup place.

Colin Montgomerie, faced with arguably the most difficult decision any captain has had regarding wild cards, tonight named Padraig Harrington, Luke Donald and uncapped Edoardo Molinari, winner of the last counting event, as the three men to complete his line-up.
